If I put all three on the base and play music, will there be one stronger and better sound? Is this a suggested working mode?

Over all yes but I have had a few instances when the speakers have a sound delay when on the docking station at the same time.

I have heard you can have a couple synced together so they all play the same music, from other people but I have not tried myself to confirm if this is true or not. I would like to know for sure too.

I don't know why so many answers are "no". I bought the speakers that this question is attached to, and I am listening to them right now. 2 of them, tethered together. So the answer is YES you can connect them together for more sound.

I purchased 3 for my family last Christmas. They all played at the same time, but there did seem to be some problems with frequencies if they were in the same room or same part of the house when they were playing with the car. My suggestion would be to get different types for each of the grandsons. Hope this will help.

It will make a huge difference. When using one speaker it sounds as good as any other solid iPod dock. The second speaker literally turns it into a stereo system. The sound quality and volume are definitely amped up.

Hi TBC. I've never run more than 2 of these units at the same time, but I think as long as you set the frequency of each unit to a different available pre set frequency (there's a choice of many -- 20 or more?-- built in to these babies), you shouldn't have interference. Of course this supposes that the space where you're using them doesn't have native RF or frequency noise happening within any of the frequencies you set your units to. I have yet to get much external frequency interference or noise in the frequency ranges at which these units operate. Good luck.

if you are going for sound quality then yes. If you want to get loud then go ported. A sealed box will save on space too. But the P3 subwoofer is made to work perfectly in both.

I don't think it would be a problem, but the sound would definitely conflict if you were trying to play two different types of music that close together. I have different zones in different rooms and they work perfectly. Not sure what you are trying to accomplish but these are great speakers. If possible I would suggest having a volume controls in the room you are putting them in.

Why? You would need to use it as a replacement for 1 of your bookshelves, then buy another to get matching sound. To me, that is a waste of money. I would suggest getting better bookshelves or even towers if you have the room.

There are little spring clamp speaker jacks on the back of the unit so you might double up additional speaker leads, but the unit may not have the power to drive them. When you set the sound stating to 3, the systems sounds pretty damn good for the size. I also run a tv audio into the aux and it is great.

There's no down side to all 3 being the dual speaker size, your mostly limited to how much room you have in your wall for mounting them. As far as all 5 being the same the rears are mostly environmental noise such as car's passing, some dialogue, and other background noise. So it's up to you, they're such a good price it won't hurt if they're all the same. It'll make listening to music awesome. Hope this helps.

Yes, you have the option of playing one, two, three, or four sets of speakers (labeled A, B, C, AND D). I wired the speaker selector to toggle sound between the living room and the outside patio. It's nice to be able to do both at the same time if needed. I hope this answers your question

It sounds pretty good without the subwoofer. We have a small room and have the playbar....two Play 3's and one play 5 and it sounds great. For our small house the subwoofer would be too much and that's saying something as my husband really likes to have some bass going. If you had a huge area to cover you might want the subwoofer. We used to have a bose system with a subwoofer and this sounds as good at that if not better. If you are really into your sound you probably will want something in addition to the playbar like the play 3's and/or play 5's. We went that route because we could move them into other rooms of the house easily. FYI - the playbar is not a petite piece so make sure you have room for it. I hope this helps!

As I don't have the other model to compare, so I can't really say. But I do like base on my music and I am happy with these. The Extra Base ones were an option for me too, but I went for these instead. I guess it is a matter of personal choice. These ones seem to have a great build quality and should last longer, which is why I went for them.

It won't hurt anything to try, but I don't think that it's optimal. You could get an inexpensive, or high end, phono stage and run that into the Saffire, which I think would be much better and allow more range. Best of luck.

I have (3) running in my case, and can barely hear them - so adding a 4th one would not make much difference.

Honestly, I don't think you will get the best quality sound running both at the same time, but it works great when only one audio source is playing at a time. I've never tried to two audio sources playing at the same time, but when it has happened, it's sounded fuzzy. You might need something built more toward music production that this.
